I Beam Steel

I Beam Steel
Product Description
I shaped steel is an efficient and economical cutting profile (others include
cold-formed thin-walled steel, profiled steel plates, etc.). They can make the
steel more efficient and improve its cutting capacity. Different from the
ordinary H-shaped steel, the flange of the I-shaped steel is widened, and the
inner and outer surfaces are usually parallel, which makes it easy to connect
with other components with high-strength bolts. Its size constitutes a
reasonable series with complete models, which facilitates engineering design.
Shape: 
I beam steel features a long, horizontal top flange and a vertical web,
connected by a shorter bottom flange. This unique "I" shape provides excellent
load-bearing capacity and structural stability, making it widely used in
construction and structural engineering applications.
Composition: 
I beam steel is typically made from carbon steel or low-alloy steel, although
other materials such as stainless steel or aluminum may also be used for
specialized applications. The choice of material depends on factors such as
strength requirements, corrosion resistance, and cost considerations.
Manufacturing Process: 
I beam steel is produced through a process called hot rolling, where heated
steel billets or slabs are passed through rolling mills to form the desired
shape. The steel is shaped and stretched under high pressure, resulting in a
uniform and precise I-shaped profile.
Sizes and Dimensions: 
I beam steel is available in a wide range of sizes and dimensions to suit
various construction and engineering requirements. Standard sizes are specified
by their depth (height of the web) and weight per unit length, such as "W10x22"
or "HEA 200". These dimensions indicate the height, width, and weight of the
beam.
